Eco-Chic Ideas for Your Home

Grouped together on a tray and filled with leaves and flowers, weathered bottles and jars make an easy table dressing. 1. Collect your own bottles of various shapes and sizes over time (mustard jars, perfume bottles, and jelly jars all work well) or salvage some for just pennies at thrift stores. 2. Randomly fill some of the containers with leaves and flowers and place them on a serving tray or platter, packing the jars tightly together.

Clear glass Mason or spaghetti-sauce jars serve convenient receptacles for cotton swabs, bandages,soap bars, and other bathroom necessities. When you're in a rush to get ready, it helps to be able to see what's inside.

One of my favorite restaurants uses mason jars for it's water glasses. I wish I could steal them and use them for things like this.
